Comparing the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer vs. the Toyota Corolla Cross at Gillman Chevrolet GMC
If you've been dreaming of zipping around in a spirited compact SUV, you've likely gotten overwhelmed with all the options. Since they are both popular contenders, the Chevrolet Trailblazer vs Toyota Corolla Cross is a debate we hear often. We're highlighting the reasons we recommend the Chevy SUV at Gillman Chevrolet GMC.
Power and Capabilities
The 2026 Chevy Trailblazer comes equipped with an Ecotec 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, which delivers up to 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, or you can opt for the available Ecotec 1.3-liter turbocharged engine, which increases power to 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. The 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross generates up to 169 horsepower, but only 151 lb-ft of torque. The Chevy SUV is also available with unique performance features such as off-road suspension tuning and is available with a functional skid plate.
Spacious Cabin
There's plenty of extra space to stretch out inside the 2026 Chevy Trailblazer. It features an ample 98.2 cubic feet of passenger volume, while the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross has just 94.9 cubic feet. You'll notice that difference the most in the rear seat, which has seven extra inches of legroom and over six extra inches of hip room. If you fold the rear seats down, you can carry up to 54.4 cubic feet of cargo inside the Chevy SUV, while the Toyota SUV only has room for 46.9 cubic feet of cargo.
Intuitive Technology
There's no denying that new Chevy models are high-tech. While both of these compact SUVs have cutting-edge cabins, the Chevy SUV provides an elevated experience. It comes standard with an 11-inch HD color touchscreen, Wi-Fi® hotspot capabilities, and OnStar capabilities. The Toyota SUV features an eight-inch touchscreen instead and only offers a 10.5-inch screen in select models. It doesn't offer OnStar and only offers Wi-Fi® hotspot capabilities with a subscription.
